Morrnrly 1'llr n Protest.
R. F. Morcarty of Omaha, representing
the midrtlc-of-thc-road faction thai re
cently named August Cllnc for congress
In tho Second district, today tiled a pro
test with tho secretary of stato against
allowing any other mIddle-oMho-road can
didate for that office to flic a certificate
of nomination. The protest asserts that
there are two reasons why a second cer
tificate of nomination should not bo filed,
the first being that the nomination of An-
gust Cllno was In compliance with every
provision of tho law that could bo applied
in such cases and the second that no other
organization has a right to notnlnato can- j
clldates under tho name 'mid-road popu
lists." There Is a wide illffcrcnco of opinion
at the stato house as to whether tho sec
retary of stato has a legal right to refuso
to file a certificate of nomination. In tho
rnsn of the protest filed by J. II. Edmlston
against tho certificates of tho candidates
on the state ticket It was agreed by all
persons concerned that tho protest was
really an attempt to keep tho party name
off the official ballot and should bo con
sidered as Biich. It Is contended that the
secretary of stnto has no jurisdiction to
pass upon any document that baa not been
officially filed In his olllce and If this opin
ion prevails It will bo necessary for Mr.
Morearty to amend his protest If ho de
sires a hearing. Secretary Porter was not
iln tho city today and his deputy could not
I tell what action would be taken.
"We are Inclined to think that the pro-
Itest will bo without effect, anyway," said
one of tho office attaches, "for tho reason
'that he nsks the secretary of stato to re
fuse to fllo tho certificate of another 'mid-
road' party. Tho other element will not
call themselves mld-roadcrs, but simply
'populists,' and by doing so they will get
around Morearty's protest."
(onion Appeal Ills Case.

pealed to tho supremo court from tho de
cision of Judge Estcllo In his caso against

GRAND ISLAND. Neb., Aug. 30. (Spe
cial Telegram.) The fourth day of the
street fair opened bright and remained
one of the pleasantest. It was Hastings
and All South day and the first train
from the south brought 1,700 people and
other trains wcro equally loaded. The
number of visitors Is variously estimated
at from 10.000 to 20,000.
The community was seriously surprised
this morning to sec Mayor Piatt Issue a
proclamation authorizing the already wide
open state of things to open still wider.
Gamblers had grafters on every street
orner yesterday and the dancing girls were
unrestrained. A very large portion of tho
community Is opposed to still further li
cense of the lawless and vicious nnd some
of the nsslstant managers of fairs on the
grounds, who did not want to bo responsi
ble for robberies being committed, ten
dered their resignations and this action
led Mayor Piatt to act and several of the
foreign gamblers, who were beginning to
locato In every empty building and on the
Btrect corners and In tents, were shut
off. The local press Is taking up the sub
ject, as the mayor had publicly prom
ised to hold things within bounds. The
proclamation of "throwing away tho keys
of tho city" appears more than tho ma
jority of citizens want to uphold by con
tinuing silent.

Ills confidence comes from visits to

three to one four years ago. "1 And." ho
said, "that tho greatest republican gains
In the state are In those western counties
and yet the gain Is noticeable throughout
the state. Men with whom I have talked
and who were In close touch with the
sentiment of their communities say that
there Is no question at all that repub

look to Thurston for nominations, ns the
latter was not lending aid or comfort to the

one or two boards still remain Incomplete
becnuse Commissioner Evnns Insists upon ;
a democrat filling the vacancy. In the

Why Im this'' Why do women find them
rclves feeling old nt the age of forty, the
very tune when ninn ns n rulo llnds life
most satisfying?
Wo may discard nil reasons for this
difference in husband nnd w Ife based on
nny theory of physical deficiency In wo
man. That theory belongs to the pnHt.
Physically and mentally men and women
stand on nn equality. Women who have
shown their menial ability In the writing
of brilliant books of travel havo shown
nlso their physical courage nnd endurance
by exploring nlono tho wilds of Africa,
penetrating Into tho unknown corners of
Europe nnd Asia or climbing mountain
peaks marked by men ns Inaccessible.
IT IS UNNATURAL.
The difference between men and women
In respect of ngo nnd feeling Is tint n nat
ural one. After nature has so bountifully
endowed womnn with beauty It Is Incredi
ble that Bho should wilfully mar her own
handiwork, Bear the beauty of face with
deep cut lines ot pnln, nnd nttcnunte the
rounded form by Ingenious torments.
Tho real reason why women wear nut
so early, why ngo tells on them ho heavily,
lies In tho fact thut the health of thu
delicate femalo organs Is so intimately re
lated to tho general helath that when
women suffer from diseases peeular to
their sex tho effect Is felt In every ncrvo
and liber of tho body. When n womnn
suffers dayH of torment with ench recur
ring month It doesn't tnke long to. write
tho record of suffering on her face. When
sho Is nervous nnd Bleepless, has constant
hemlnelin mid backchc. sho loses her
plumpness of form with her cheerfulness
of mtnd.
Tho first step to tnko to escapo from
these womanly disabilities la to realize
that It Is not right; It Is unnatural; and
If woman will once moro get Into step
with nature sho will And that "ago cannot
wither her;" that "nothing In her thnt
doth fado but doth suffer a sea change Into
oniothlng rich nnd ntrangc."
WOMAN NEEDS HELP,
it Is evident that If women are to bo
brought into harmony with nature, and
mnde healthy nnd strong, ns Is their light,
they will havo to go to nature, slnco na
ture cannot como to them. Or, to put It
differently, women hnve wondered from tho
broad highway of health Into ny-patiis oi
disease. All they need is to no leu nacn
to that lost highway of health nnd lio
started nncw, nud nature will do tho rest.
That Is tho mission of Dr. Pierce's
i,-,.vnrltn Prescription. It lends women
out of tho by paths of disease back to tho
broad highway of health. It gives n worn
and weary woman u fresh start In life.
It takes nwny the womanly disabilities
that handicap her nnd weigh her down,
and gives her Bound, womanly health.
How is ull this accomplished? By tho
euro ot tho womanly discuses which sap
tho strength, strain the nerves und mar
the beauty ot fnco and form.
Womanly lnegulurltli Biirely portend
physical weakness. Dr. Plerco's Favorite
Proscription cstnbllshes perfect regularity.
Disagreeable drains urn more than dtsa
grecublo, they aro dangerous. Unless they
uro cured they undermine the strength.
"Favorlto Prescription" cures such drains.
It cures nisi Inflammation, ulceration nud
femalo weakness.
"It Is with feelings ot sincere gratltudo
that 1 ngnln write to you." Bays Mrs.
Harry A. nrown, of Orono, Penobscot Co.,
Maine. "I wroto to you concerning my
health last spring (I thing it wns in Juno),
and you nd vised me to take your 'ruvorllo
Prescription' and Golden sieuicnl uiscov-
erv.' which I did according to directions,
und continued tnkltig them for flvo months.
I took nine bottles ot 'Favorlto Prescrip
tion.' six of 'Golden Medical Discovery'
und four vials of Dr. Pierce's Pullets. My
dlseabo was displacement und ulceration
of tho uterus, nnd I was In a terrlblo con
dition with pain nnd weakness, nnd had
given up nil hope of over being woll again.
Had doctored with four different doctors
within four months, and Instead of getting
bettor was growing wcuker nil tho time. I
decided to try your medicines, ns I hnd
heard of tho many euros resulting from
tholr use. 1 bought flvo bottles und felt
so much better lifter taking them that I
kept on until 1 nm us well ns uvr In my
llfo, nnd to Dr. lierco nil tho praise Is
due. I cannot say enough in favor of his
medicines. I have given ull tho books nwny
that enmo nround tho bottles, nnd have
induced four of my lady friends to try your
medicines. They are receiving wonderful
benefits from them.
"Beforo I began inking your medicines
I only wolghed ono hundrrd nnd twenty
pounds. I now weigh ono hundred and six
ty pounds. I gained forty pounds In six
months. I shall doctor no moro with
homo doctors, ns It Is only n wnstu of mnn
o. No matter what my trouble Is I shall
wrlto to Dr. Plerco every time.
"I nm now In perfect hcnlth, thanks
to Dr. Pltiieo.
"You may print my testimony nnd spreail
the nows of my wonderful recovery to
hcnlth nfter having been given up by threo
doctors."
WHAT MOTHERHOOD MEANS
There's another cause for the early wear
lng out of women, and that Is mother
hood For many a woman it is a m.irtyr
dom from whi. h sho shrinks Willi hardly
enough vitality for her own needs Bhe i
sco inc. but at last 1 round mm i wai
slowly dying Tho dortnr.i i aid I had liver,
lung and uterine troubles 1 was in bed
for months und when 1 did gel up I wns
ii sight to behold. 1 looked like a corpst
walking about. Then I commenced to lal
Dr. Pierce's FaMirllo Prescript ton. Golden
Medical Discovery' nml Pellets,' nnd evel
Blnco then 1 have been n well woman I
have suffered all n woman could sutler Ml
my monthly period until since I began tin
uso of Dr. Pierce's medicines, but uow 1
can sny 1 have no pain. Tho dark circlet
nround my eyes are going uwuy und 1 feel
better In every way. My cheeks nro red
nnd my skin Is white, but before It was
as yellow ns nultioii."
Anullzo that letter and It fairly presents
a condition familiar to very many women.
"I found myself completely worn out."
"1 hud so many pains und nclics my Ufa
was u burden."
"I wns nervous and cross and could not
sleep."
"1 looked like n corpse walking nbout."
"I Buffered ull a woman could with each
monthly period."
Now contntHt this with the changed con
dition resulting from tho use of Dr. Plerco's
Fuvoi Ito Piesciiptlon."
"Slnco I began tho uso of 'Favorlto Pre
scription' I have no painful periods."
"Tho dark circles urcund my ejes nra
going nwny."
"My cheeks nrc led nud my sl.ln Is white,
but beforo it was yollow as uuffron."
Could iinythlng bo lidded to that state
ment to make It moro forcible? Nothing
could be udded except other testimonies
to tho Biimo clfeet.
"I suffered for twelve years with femalo
trouble." writes Mrs. Milton Grimes, of
Adair, Adair Co., Iowa, "which hi light on
other diseases heart trouble, Brlght's
disease, nervousness, und nt tlmos would
bo nearly paralyzed. Hud neurnlglu of
stomach. I can freely Bay your medicines
(nlno bottles in nil, flvo of 'Favorlto Pro
scription. ' four of 'Golden Medical Dis
covery' nnd two vials ot Dr. Pierce's Pel
lets), havo cured me. I can work with
comfort now, but beforo I would bo tired
ull tho tlmo nnd have a dizzy headache,
nnd my nerves would bo nil unstrung bo I
could not sleep. Now I can sleep and do
u big dny's work, something 1 hnd not
done for over eleven years before.
"You huvo my consent lo publish this
testimonial, hoping It will be tho moans
of helping some other Invalid."
Dr. Plerco's Favorlto Prescription makes
weok women strong und Blck women woll.
Ninety-eight times In every hundred It
works a perfect nnd permanent euro. In
only two cases In every hundred does It
full of u porfect cure, und In these cases
thu testlmnoy runs: "I nm not entirely
well, but I urn better than I huvu beon for
yea rs."
Sick women nro Invited to consult Dr.
Pierce, by letter, free. All correspondence
is hold us sacredly privnto und womnnly
confidences nro guarded by strict profes
sion privacy. Address Dr. R. V. Pierce,

Accept no substitute for "Fnvorlte Pre

good for tho euro ot womanly diseases.
